His continued apprehension in signing an extension with the Nuggets has left the door open for the New York Knicks to believe just that.
Here we go again Knick fans.
Another year of speculating, of wondering and wishing, but this time it could happen. This time the Knicks could possibly get their guy. Carmelo can opt out of hi...

 I really wasn't aware of this story until I saw this posted at scacchoops.com, but Dean Smith's health is slipping.
We may look back 2010 as a year we lost some of the most influential men in sports history. Already in this year John Wooden and recently George Steinbrenner have sadly passed. Growing up I loved those Dean Smith coached North Carolina teams.
They were the first sp...

 Since I had such a good response to my Ranking of the College Football Programs in the ACC since conference expansion, I decided to take a stab how the college basketball teams ranked.
It's not that I expected anyone other than North Carolina and Duke to be the top 2. They did both each win a national title, but I did want to see which one held the top spot.
After the Heels and Devi...

 Just a quick thought for tonight... Something I've heard in particular on sports radio several times, and I finally had to give my opinion on it. You've all heard the chants before "SEC! SEC! SEC!" or "ACC! ACC! ACC!" or some other conference.
I've heard the argument you root for teams not your conference. That it's just a defense mechanism of fans when their own teams lose. Alabama wins the nat...

 Do you know what really gets under my skin? How about losing to your arch-rival at anything. Auburn fans don't want to lose to Alabama if their teams are playing monopoly. Michigan fans would give Ohio State fans grief if the Wolverines beat the Buckeyes at ping pong.
Saturday evening one of my favorite teams the Clemson Tigers lost their arch-rival the South Carolina Gamecocks at the College Worl...

Once I took a bunch of kids from church to the zoo. When we got there we realized that one of the kids had left their lunch or didn't have one to begin with, never really been sure about that one. Now of course the kid went into sup...

With plenty of teams trying to swoon LeBron James it seems the New York Knicks might have just hit a new low in desperation. It seems the Knicks have asked an entourage of stars to prepare a little intervention for Lebron. The committee includes Donald Trump, Alec Badwin, Tracy Morgon, Chris Rock, and maybe even Whoopi Goldberg if James gets lucky, I mean she did get that middle slot ...

With the basketball world facing the possibility of crowning a champion tonight in Boston, the question of who the MVP would be has been bounced around quite a bit with the most interesting option being Kobe Bryant. Is it a good idea to give the MVP to someone on the losing team?
This seems a lot like a teacher giving the "Most Improved" student award to a kid that didn't even pass th...
